What method can be used to seperate iron from crushed copper ores?

Answer:

Well magnets are the first thing that comes to mind. Iron will stick to a magnet, copper won't. But you could also use a centrifuge because iron is heavier than copper ore. Actually I'm not sure about that. But one or the other is going to be heavier.
